Dad, please try harder

Chapter 12 Crazy Thursday, KFC V Me 1900!

Tonight, the Qian family.

Qian Wenlin sat on the bedside and read a book.

After a while, his wife Yang Yuhua finished washing and came out of the bathroom in her pajamas.

Qian Wenlin put the book on the bedside table, and talked to his wife about practicing Qigong with his two children at the gate of the Pearl Zoo today.

"I told Shitou and Linlang about this." Yang Yuhua was upright, sitting on the bed while talking.

"The point I want to talk about is not this," Qian Wenlin thought about his choice of words, "What I want to talk about is the changes in the stone."

"What changed?"

"Do you still remember what I told you before Shitou suddenly grew up after he got the admission letter from the university?"

"Well, what happened?"

"I felt this way again today, and so did Lin Lang. I feel that these two children are pointing at me today, using the words I used to educate them to cook chicken soup for me."

But Yang Yuhua had an expression of "I don't understand this", and said: "Is this difficult to understand? We all came from such a big age, and we still don't understand their little thoughts?"

"What's the point of thinking?"

"Do you think it is possible for Shitou and Linlang to be together in the future?"

"Of course, isn't this the consensus of our two families, a golden and jade marriage."

"Yes, but think about it, what does Ren Linlang's family do? They opened such a big furniture store, and Linlang herself was admitted to Fudan University. The gap is getting bigger and bigger. Can our son be free of pressure?"

"It's really possible for you to say so." Qian Wenlin approved his wife's judgment, "Then you can allocate some money to me from the bonus, and I will buy back the Wing Chun wooden mannequin, and I will show some attitude to the children Look, inspire them with practical actions, precepts and deeds!"

"So that's why you beat around the bush and said so much?"

"No, I'm for my son." Qian Wenlin's father loves him like a mountain.

"approve."

"My wife is holy!" Qian Wenlin praised, and looked at his daughter-in-law with love in his eyes, "My wife, I think you are very beautiful tonight, what's the matter?"

"Let's talk less."

"No, I won a bonus of 5 today, and my wife didn't say anything?"

"Turn off the lights and go to bed."

"okay."

……

Qian Wenlin's 5 yuan bonus brought joy to the family of three that lasted almost three days.

Three days later, life returned to its usual calm.

The fact is that money can indeed bring happiness to people and increase happiness, but that happiness is time-sensitive and limited. When the money and the items it buys become your established assets, the extra happiness and The freshness begins to decay until it disappears and becomes ordinary.

In addition, people in different economic classes have different levels of happiness when they receive the same amount of money.

To put it simply, if Ma Yun gets 1000 million and Dr. Yin gets 1000 million, their subjective well-being cannot be the same. The former may be happy for two or three seconds, while the latter may maintain a high level of happiness for a long time (surely ).

However, in terms of long-term feelings, its impact is not as great as imagined. When you buy a luxury car, move into a luxury house, and open a few bottles of Moutai... you will soon feel that all this is ordinary (doubtful).

At present, Qian Quan's happiness about Chad's bonus is also decaying, but it has not completely decayed, and it is still in the stage of secretly enjoying it.

Of course, the main reason is that his money has not been moved, and the gift he wants to buy has not been bought.

According to research, when you sincerely give a gift, you get as much happiness as the person who receives it. (Note 1)

From this perspective, people's real long-lasting happiness comes from loving interactions with people you care about.

However, before Qian Quan bought a gift, he received a gift first.

His chess friend Master Hu gave him a phone number:
"This number is my son-in-law's private number. Not many people know it. You can go to Zhonghai to study in the future. If you want to continue looking for a part-time job or need help with anything, you can call this number."

Qian Quan now also has a certain understanding of Lord Hu. He knows that his daughter, Zhao Baiyu's mother, was a high school student in Wanghuai No. [-] Middle School, and that his son-in-law is doing business in Zhonghai, and the business is not small.

As for more detailed and specific information, Master Hu did not disclose, and Qian Quan did not ask further.

A sense of boundaries is an important principle in dealing with people.

And the friendship between gentlemen is more about the end of the point.

"Baiyu will also be studying in Zhonghai in the future, so you can go out and hang out together if you have a chance." Master Hu said politely.

"Well," Qian Quan naturally would not refuse, "By the way, does Bai Yu practice sports? I feel that she has a sassy aura about her."

"Did you notice it? It seems that her kung fu is still not perfect." Master Hu said with a smile.

"What do you say?"

"She practiced Chinese martial arts and worshiped Master Gongxuanzhu. She has achieved some achievements now, but she hasn't returned to the point of returning to the original, otherwise others will not be able to see it."

"So that's how it is." Qian Quan thought to himself, no wonder Master Hu dared to ask Zhao Baiyu to play with him so generously. It turned out that she was a heroine from a famous family.

……

The Wing Chun wooden dummy Qian Wenlin bought arrived the next day.

I don't know if he wanted to prove himself to Qian Quan and Ding Linlang, or to realize his dream. Since the wooden dummy arrived, he really studied and practiced seriously every day.

I also bought books and downloaded instructional videos.

Qian Quan and Ding Linlang also practiced and played, pretending to fight the wooden dummy.

"The wooden dummy is the most profound routine of Wing Chun. There are 116 moves in total. It is mainly to cultivate the awareness of actual combat, enhance the ability to coordinate attack and defense with hands and feet, and maximize the level of technical combat. Only after getting started, practice will be effective." Qian Qian Wen Lin explained briefly.

"Uncle, do you mean that the wooden dummy was bought early?"

"That's not true. Doesn't it look professional to have this prop? Besides, I didn't plan to practice too deeply, so I'll take the best."

"That makes sense." Ding Linlang nodded, then looked at Qian Quan, "Qian Quan, let's compare and see who can learn the elementary routines of 'Xiao Nim Tau' first."

"Why do you compare everything?"

"Aren't you a genius? Do you dare to compare?"

"What dare not, if I win you will call me brother in the future."

"Okay, did you lose?"

"I call you brother."

"That's not necessary, if you lose, you promise me one thing."

"what's up?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I think about it later."

"It's a word."

After the two finished speaking, they clapped hands ceremonially as an alliance.

The cicadas are singing, and time is like water.

Time came to August 8th, Thursday, and Qian Quan paid his salary.

Counting overtime and so on, KFC paid him a total of more than 1900 yuan.

This is not the point, the point is that Qian Quan can finally buy gifts for his parents and Ding Linlang reasonably.

The gift for Dad is a pair of leather shoes handmade by Qianli Leather Shoes Workshop.

The presents for mother and Ding Linlang are a pair of sandals and a white trendy T-shirt respectively.

He bought it at the only poppy fashion store in Wanghuai on purpose.

The three gifts cost more than 1800 yuan, and there was less than 100 yuan left. I went to the street stall and bought myself two big underpants.

When father, mother and Ding Linlang received the gift, they were still very surprised.

"Have you used up all your monthly salary?" Mom felt distressed.

"Well, this is my wish. The first salary must be used to buy gifts for you."

"Didn't you say you were going to earn college living expenses?" Ding Linlang's bright eyes looked closely at Qian Quan.

"Buying gifts for you is also a part of my life." Qian Quan replied, that was a matter of course.

Qian Wenlin and Yang Yuhua were full of joy, Yang Yuhua said to her husband:
"Old Qian, I think our son has really grown up."

Ding Linlang was secretly thinking,

I will definitely keep this T-shirt for many, many years...

It's the end of the day, and the weather is still hot.

Many years later, this summer,
They still remember.
